This document provides a procedure for cleaning baskets prior to use. Baskets are transferred to the cleaning area where the washing machine temperature is raised above 65°C. A sanitizer is added to the water to reach a concentration of 162 ppm. Baskets are fed through the machine one by one for 10 seconds each to be washed and sanitized before being collected, stacked, and air dried. The machine is then cleaned and refilled with clean water.

In case the temperature goes down below 65°C during washing, stop the machine and wait till temperature reaches 65°C. 3.5. Once the temperature is attained, put 4 cups of Midchem Parlor Sanitizer PS56 using the designated 200g cup. 3.6. Check concentration after every 30 minutes using chlorine test strips during continuous work and add the chemical if necessary. The concentration should be 162 ppm. 3.7. Run machine empty for around 15 seconds to mix the chemical. 3.8. Place the baskets in the in-feed conveyor of the basket washing machine and feed one by one after every 10 seconds. 3.9. Allow the baskets to stay inside machine for around 10 seconds to be washed inside and set the feed accordingly. 3.10. Collect clean baskets from out-feed conveyor and stack. 3.11. Leave for air drying. 3.12. The baskets with high soil or grease should be passed twice to remove the soil completely. 3.13. After finishing the job, drain dirty water and clean the machine. 3.14.
